A “personal injury” is any event caused by one party that results in harm to another party. Under Maryland law, the injured victim can hold the at-fault party accountable for their losses through a personal injury claim. This is a type of civil suit that seeks compensation for financial damages and the intangible losses resulting from the at-fault party’s negligence.
Personal injuries happen unexpectedly in many different ways, often without any prior warning. As a result, the injured victim may face uncertainty and a great deal of emotional distress in this situation, and it’s common for personal injury victims to make serious legal mistakes in their recovery efforts when they do not have experienced legal counsel advising them.

Our firm has cultivated a strong professional reputation for delivering results in the toughest cases, including those that involve substantial economic damages and long-term losses. Our goal in every case we accept is to help our client understand the legal mechanisms in play during their case and the full breadth of recovery options available to them.
Car accidents are a leading cause of personal injury claims in Maryland, and these incidents also generate highly contested insurance claims. While drivers are required to carry auto insurance that includes appropriate liability coverage, insurance alone may not fully compensate for the losses resulting from a serious accident. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the at-fault driver will have insurance at all.
The Ruben Law Firm has extensive professional experience handling vehicle accident cases, including:

Our firm focuses on the individual client, helping them understand the unique aspects of their case and preparing them for the difficult proceedings ahead. While most personal injury claims end in private settlement negotiations, there is always a chance for a case to proceed to litigation if the defendant denies liability. Maryland utilizes a contributory negligence regulation, so if a plaintiff bears any amount of fault for causing their personal injury, they lose the legal ability to seek compensation for their damages from the defendant. It’s relatively common for defendants to assert contributory negligence in their efforts to deflect liability for causing personal injuries, and we have the skill and experience to overcome these issues on behalf of our clients.
